Property Description for 140 East 63rd Street, 5-DG

Rarely available rental opportunity at The Barbizon

This elegant and sophisticated 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom prewar apartment at the historic and distinguished Barbizon/63 Condominium is the epitome of luxurious living. This magnificent residence has been impeccably reimagined by renowned designer, Jack Levy, with only the most opulent finishes and fixtures.

Upon entry, a formal foyer and gallery greet you. The powder room adorned with a Waterworks marble pedestal sink and an oversized mirror leads to an elegant corner living room. Six-foot tall French casement windows provide serene views of the private gardens of neighboring townhouses. The dining room flows seamlessly into the state-of-the-art kitchen, featuring soft cashmere grey oak cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops and mosaic backsplash, and integrated appliances by Sub Zero and Miele. A Sub Zero wine refrigerator and combination microwave/convection oven complete this chef's kitchen.

The bedrooms are discreetly tucked away on the opposite end of the apartment, providing a distinct separation between public and private quarters. The corner master bedroom is an oasis in itself, with an en-suite White Mink marble bathroom, Waterworks fixtures, mirrored jewel-like vanity with double sinks, and an oversized windowed shower. A massive and fully outfitted windowed walk-in closet completes the suite. Two additional bedrooms (one boasting a corner exposure), each with en-suite Waterworks bathrooms, provide luxurious comfort. In addition to beautiful hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom molding and prewar beamed ceilings throughout, this apartment features a Crestron home automation system and an in-unit Miele washer & dryer.

Originally built in 1927 and converted to a condominium in 2005, the Barbizon/63 is a full-service Romanesque-style building listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The building amenities include a 24-hour doorman & concierge, live-in resident manager, residential lounge and dining room, catering kitchen, library, 20-seat screening room, and conference room.

The building features a private residential entrance to the Equinox Gym & Spa (with original Barbizon indoor pool) on Lexington and 63rd Street. Located on a tree-lined townhouse block, this condominium is only moments away from the newly remodeled F & Q train station and is 3 blocks away from Central Park. This residence offers the ultimate in luxurious city living.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
